Well it's clear what will happen after Messi retires, we'll go back to pre-Cruyff era.

I mean, you can't replace Messi so you kinda have to accept that whoever comes will be worse.

But there are other player who'll need replacements in the next 5 years: Busi, Alba, Pique, Suarez, don't know if Rakitic will stay until then but in the next 2 or 3 years he'll be gone imo. If not right this year. Iniesta will be long gone by then also.

So what do we do to anticipate that moment? We buy 29 years old, mediocre players. Mathieu, Arda, Paulinho...They are not even around 25-26 years old so you can milk like 7-8 more years. No, they'll be starting to fade away in 2, maybe 3 years tops. Arda was damaged goods from the get go.

Wouldn't be surprised if we can't manage sign Dembele/Coutinho and in a desperation move we go and help psg with ffp in offloading Di Maria. This too would be presented as a success by the board as we signed a former RM player and stole a psg player for once. You know the jokers Bartomeu and co, through their stooges at MD, will write all kinds of "Why DiMaria to Barca is a good move" or "5 reasons this summer transfer window was good". It's isn't even that hard to believe, right?

It was even less than 15! Only 14m!
That's truly incredible players go to the Chinese league for crazy fees and he was so bad that he went there for 14m!
So he failed in Europe and went to China as a 27yo for 14m and this from Tottenham who are known for asking very high fees when they sell

I dont think there is even a great argument for the benefit of it against what they stand to lose on Barca side or what they gain on Chinese side.

That's why I say the simplest explanation that they're just awful and incompetent wins out.

Thanks.

I guess I will have to be the mature one here and end the conversation, go ahead you can reply again and say you got the last word in.

At time Spurs fans were surprised they even got that for him.

Unbelieveble stuff!

I guess its like cmon who can be this fucking retarded to give 40m for a guy that went to Chinese league for 15m? The guy that is going to be 30. On place we have faaar to much deadwood. Why?

No one is saying it's not stupid deal and head scratching, But that doesn't make some random text on twitter talking about conspiracy involving our board and off-shore companies in china, automatically true, I think this is common sense.
Until the information on that twitter post are confirmed to be true, Preferably by a real journalist, It'll still remain to be just an unconfirmed nonsense on the internet, And it is the internet we're talking about.

And we were debating if we should give another 20 or 30 mil for Dembele and Coutinho. I bet 99% of us would give 120 or 130 +variables to both of them just to keep Paulinho out of our club!

This is a fucking nightmare.

 

[ryuken]

40mil for our Xavi 2.0 and ppl in Catalunya may still be happy that they voted for this shiet

 

[Sorin]

Nah, we gonna keep hustling for 20mil on each transfer because we have to buy chinese superleague superstar Paulinho. It makes perfect sense. Why can't people get behind this is beyond me.
